Spong: PlayStation Home: Muting Others Coming

And Home is making money... apparently. Susan Panico, senior director of the Playstation Network, has been spreading lovely, seasonal snow all over the Seattle Post Intelligencer regarding the smashing things happening on Home.

This, for example, includes methods to ensure that if you're a male journalist pretending to be a female using a feminine avatar and a name like "Iamacutegirl23" in order to get a story, you won't be harassed. Okay, you might get harassed but you'll be able to mute the harasser. Says Susan, "abuse reporting, the ability to mute other avatars, and "rapidly scaling up our moderation team" should fix the problems".

Now with the open beta, they just now realize there are spamming/pervert/dbags out there?

I feel like maybe the closed beta was really just for the load/feature/basic stuff..

And the open beta will be the one to where they nail down more features, but sheesh..

2008 is here and we barely have clothing/appliances/pictures.. I dont even really remember what home was hyped for to compare it to now.. but.. Outside of videosharing/pixsharing getting nixed... what else is it missing so far, as far as the hypebot went.

I got very excited with the announcement because I thought we were gtting the redbull/diesel stores. But, no dice right?

Anyway, all this aside, why i STILL cant get into home?! I installed the latest patch, which apparently was supposed to fix the log in errors, but i still get the 603 error or whatever that is. I actually enjoy home and is frustrating that i cant log in. And it has been in development for years and they still cant make it right? CoD WaW has been done in a year and it looks grate and it works fine. And what has sony done with home so far? A tiny environment with a few mini games and even R2 can handle more players on the servers. On top of that you can`t even log in whenever you want to. Common sony, get your sh1t together!!
